Blazing Tempo can give Townend dream comeback

WHEN I walked out of Cork University Hospital exactly two weeks ago there was only one thing on my mind, the Galway Plate and Blazing Tempo.

I have fancied Willie Mullins’ mare for the race since I rode her to finish second at the Punchestown festival in early May.

As I am sure you are all well aware by now, I took a fall off Michael Hourigan’s Friendly Society at the first hurdle at Killarney on July 12.
